September in Seattle
Annie E. from San Antonio, TX recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in September, 2009
I planned to visit my family in Seattle during September this year because it's the most lovely time of year to be there. We normally stay with my family, but with the ever increasing number of babies being born, we thought it would be nice to have our own space for at least some of the visit this time. We had visited this house a couple of years ago when some friends of ours got married and their families stayed here and hosted the rehearsal dinner. I've lived in Seattle, so I knew the location well and that it would situate us right next to the zoo and in a very fun neighborhood with no shortage of things to do and see within walking distance. And we were also just a short drive from Ballard, Fremont, Green Lake, and Wallingford. Loved it!

Family wedding
A guest from Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in September, 2009
This lovely, spacious, well maintained home was the perfect venue for our family to meet up before the wedding. Great bus route to town just 1 minute walk away and hot tub for your return. Thoroughly recommended.

Nice but needs some TLC
Nicole K. from Mountain View, CA does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 9 days in August, 2009
We generally enjoyed our stay but the home is not the most child friendly place and needs some updating. One of the couches had staples sticking out all along the top of the frame. Someone went to sit their head back and it poked them in the back of the neck. Second, the place was NOT stocked with enough Toilet Paper or Paper towels for our stay. I had to go out and purchase on my own after 4 days (Our total length of stay was 9). Third, the place is a bit musty and does not have good air circulation. There were window fans in every room and a dehumidifier downstairs but it didn't help the situation much. The kitchen wall corner molding was loose/had come apart with a nail sticking out of the wood & the stairs leading up to the main bedrooms were a bit steep for little ones (although there was a baby gate at the top that was useful). Also a little creepy that the owners live within peeping distance and monitored us during our stay. Great location but probably won't be a repeat customer.

Definetely fit our needs
Matt D. from Exeter, ON recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in August, 2009
My wife and I and 7 friends (+2 babies!) stayed at this home for 4 nights in August 2009. I admit there was nervousness about all of us being under the same roof in regards to space and noise etc..At the end of our stay is was unanimous that this house totally fit our needs as far as indoor and outdoor space. This house has a large kitchen/dining/living area and plenty of deck space for the nice Seattle weather.I am a real estate professional and have a tenancy to be skeptical when viewing homes. As far as location and property features..I have no trouble recommending this place to anybody looking for a modest, spacious, caption of Seattle living.

Phinney Spa Stay
Jule M. from Mt. Prospect, IL recommends this property.
Stayed for 6 days in June, 2009
A cute little house with a beautiful garden. It is tucked in a residential neighborhood with coffee shops and dining within walking distance. You are close to downtown Seattle making it very convenient.The staff was very responsive to our requests. The kitchen pots and pans were not sufficient for the 6 of us and they brought over new pans. They also fixed the garbage disposal while we were off sight seeing!!There are two draw backs the upstairs shower is only useable in a pinch since it is under the sloping ceiling and the dishwasher needs to be replaced.

Gorgeous home, fantastic location!
Judy D. from Pahoa, HI recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in May, 2009
We were thrilled with our stay at this home. It was spacious, with comfortable furnishings. Nicely and simply decorated. The garden was lovely and the deck and spa a treat after a long day touring the city. The view west to the Olympics also provided colorful sunsets. A great house for a family reunion or for a few couples to share.

Great Wedding, Great Seattle
Jacklyn S. from Rock Spring, WY recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in April, 2009
We loved the house and the location. Our daughter got married in a Ballard location and it was perfect for us. We loved the neighborhood, the shops, restaraunts, and local flavor. It was easy to get into downtown Seattle, and any other place we needed to go. As a walker it was perfect. We loved having a quiet place to unwind in the evenings and the house was perfect for the five of us and our daughter and new son-in-law. We plan on coming out again and would not hestitate to rent this or another home in the area. Loved it.

Very Good But One Big Problem
A guest from Providence, RI does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 6 days in December, 2008
The house was not ready for occupancy at the start of our reservation. Housekeeping had arrived late and did not have the home ready for us by 4 pm for our first day of occupancy. The house was cleaned up by 5/5:30, but our schedule was thrown off. I expected Sea to Sky to make some sort of monetary adjustment to our lease as compensation. No adjustment was made. This was disappointing.

Property Manager Response:
It is understandable that our guest was upset. Unfortunately, it was a day where we did our absolute best and came up just 1 hour shy of success. One of our housekeepers was extremely ill that day, 2 employees were out of town for the Christmas holiday, and we had 3 same-day turns. Our bookkeeper generously stepped in to help, and they were able to get all three homes cleaned by 5 pm. We apologized to the guest and explained the situation, and he stated that he and his family were fine and that he was pleased with the house.

Traveling with kids? This is the place to stay.
Josie R. from Rockford, MN recommends this property.
Stayed for 5 days in August, 2008
This was our first vacation with our three kids ages 6 mos. to 5 years old and our first time renting a vacation home. It was perfect. The house was in excellent condition, clean, well organized and most importantly, there was plenty of room. The Phinney house made lifetime vacation renters out of us and we will stay there on our future Seattle visits.

Lovely 1920s home in the heart of Phinney Ridge neighborhood
Karen L. from Glen Ellyn, IL recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in August, 2008
The house was so comfortable and inviting. We had 8 adults and it never felt crowded. We loved the front porch! The beautiful garden on the east side of the house was a visual delight. The house is in a great central location - close to everything and walking distance to Green Lake, Red Mill for burgers and Starbucks for coffee. We would rent this house again!

A Great Home to Relax In
A guest from San Diego, CA recommends this property.
Stayed for 7 days in August, 2008
Loved the house, location, garden, and neighborhood. The property managers responded quickly when there were problems. No hot water the first18 hours, no cable until the 5th day, a dishwasher that didn't release the soap. The furniture was very nice, lots of great space, full sized wash machine and dryer, super clean and manicured, lovely gardens, very comfortable beds, a great view, easy access in and out, and appreciated the responsiveness of the property managers. Kitchen utensils and pans pretty minimal, a little too minimal. Would love to return to the house--we loved it. Also enjoyed the shops, coffee house, and Ken's grocery store close by.

V. nice house with a beautiful garden in a great neighborhood. Ample street parking but easy to get downtown by bus. Lots of interesting neighborhood shops, restaurants and a supermarket within walking distance. Notables include Prost, an authentic German brew pub, Oliver's Twist (good martinis), Herkimers (great coffee). Green Lake is in easy walking distance. Zoo is also close by.

Seattle Grand Prix
Randy V. from Vancouver, BC recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in November, 2007
We used this property to house our Vancouver crew for the 2007 Seattle Grad Prix sailing regatta. The sleeping arrangements were flexible enough to accommodate our group, and the crew enjoyed team breakfast and BBQ dinners. We stayed at a Best Western Pioneer Square for an earlier regatta, and this house was cheaper then multiple hotel rooms. We were able to sit 12 for our Saturday night dinner, which was more fun then the big restaurant meal the previous week. I would recommend this place to anyone with a team or large family that likes this location which is close to hip restaurants (Matterhorn) and the ocean (Shilshole).

First time in Seattle with 3 small children!
Francis C. from Beavercreek, OH recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in September, 2007
My wife and I have three children twin three year old boys and a five year old girl. The three bedrooms were perfect for us. The twins had the room with two beds and our daughter had her own room. We were withing walking distance to a grocery store and several restaurants. We had a GPS with us and we easily found the property and it was our base of operations as we travelled to and from the city. The kitchen and backyard were clean and organized. We were able to enjoy the hottub and BBQ salmon the first day! We would gladly recommend this property again.

Valerie E. from Calgary, Alberta recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in August, 2007
The house was very comfortable in a quiet location, close to everything. We loved being able to walk to nearby retaurants and shops but could leave the windows open at night and it was wonderfully quiet. Great family oriented neighborhood. Loved the hot tub in the evenings. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment. A bargain for a family of 5 but felt like we actually lived in Seattle.

Tim L. from Mount Horeb, WI recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in July, 2007
When we stayed, I found about 10 pins in the bedroom carpet where our two boys stayed. They could have easily stepped on a pin. Once I found the pins, I looked futher and found many more embedded in the carpet. I left the pins attached to a comment card with a note when we left. Other than this, the home was very nice.
